Odds of this affecting a 14-19-year-old in a severe way is negligible. It's ridiculous how overblown this is in regards to the kids.
They need to go to school, end of the story, there is no debate. Anyone denying this needs to stop being so selfish. Those
family members, it could affect (which if there are cases where older grandparents are guardians), then in those families
they need to look at options where the kids can live with other relatives temporarily. You can't put the world in a bubble, this
isn't that old 70s movie folks.
